In times of the Corona pandemic, personal exchange is severely limited. In order to make this possible nevertheless, the self-help contact point of the district has started a telephone campaign where interested people can exchange information with self-help experts on a wide range of topics. In this difficult and for many stressful time, contact with a self-help group can offer relief. The format was successfully tested in a first telephone consultation on 23 February 2021, followed by two more offers on 26 February and 23 March. The organisational team of the self-help contact point will now continue the consultation hours on 30 March.

Since groups cannot meet at the moment, telephone or digital contact is an important support, emphasise Heike Eschler and Kristin Schmidt-Momberg from the self-help contact point of the district. This particular pandemic period is particularly stressful, and the topic of group-based self-help and contact with like-minded people is becoming more and more important.

On Tuesday, 30 March 2021, the following self-help groups from Waldeck-Frankenberg will therefore be available for telephone counselling from 10 am to 12 pm:

  • Angela Becker, Freundeskreis Waldeck e.V., telephone number 05631 9879306,
  • Karl Hallenberg, Blind and Visually Impaired Group SHG Bad Arolsen, telephone number 02993 9659557,
  • Thorsten Kamrath, Depash-Depression und Angst Selbsthilfe e.V. (Depash-Depression and Anxiety Self-Help Association). Nordhessen (Bad Wildungen group), telephone number 05623 9969911,
  • Lilo Dirmeier, self-help group Interval Fasting 8-8-8 for better health, telephone number 06451 718150 and
  • for information on self-help Ms Kristin Schmidt-Momberg, Self-Help Contact Point, telephone number 05631 954-888.

With this telephone campaign, the self-help contact point wants to promote active exchange - also in Corona times. Basically, it supports self-help groups in Waldeck-Frankenberg in finding rooms, organising specialist lectures, applying for funding or creating print products and advises on new foundations. The self-help contact point is networked with experts from the health system and has set itself the goal of promoting and anchoring the idea of self-help in the region in order to contribute to a self-help-friendly climate in the district.
